The literature of sport — particularly that of sports reporting — now more than ever has a duty to address these issues of persecution when other media, politicians and everyday spectators remain willfully silent or forcibly helpless. For half a year I’ve been a sportsWriter and reporter for a Weekly paper in Greensboro, North Carolina. In a city famous for oppression and brave defiance, I have endeavored to present the Ways that its citizens use sports for respite and resistance. Stories have involved the role of sports in black communities where struggle and skepticism endure, a non-traditional sport that alloW its participants to revel in community they may never otherWise have found, immigrants and refugees who strive to make a new home while maintaining tradition, the battle against North Carolina’s oppressive HB2, and more.

Starring George Plimpton as Himself Premieres nationally Friday, May 16, 9-10:30 p.m. on PBS (check local listings) George Plimpton Bio & Career Timeline George Plimpton (bio courtesy of The Paris Review ) George Plimpton (1927–2003) was the editor of The Paris Review from its founding in 1953 until his death in 2003. A graduate of Harvard University and Kings College, Cambridge, Plimpton was recruited to Paris by Peter Matthiessen in 1952 and signed onto the project shortly thereafter. “I’ve decided to stay over here in Paris and run this magazine,” he wrote to his parents. “I think I’d be a fool not to.” Aside from his lifelong commitment to The Paris Review , Plimpton is best known for his forays into the world of professional athletics: he earned a bloody nose while sparring with Archie Moore in 1959; he exhausted himself during an outing as a pitcher against a series of MLB All Stars in 1960; he lost thirty yards during a stint as quarterback for the Detroit Lions in 1963; and he was trounced in golf by Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus in 1967...despite a personal handicap of 18. His knack for participatory journalism also led him to test his acrobatics as an aerialist for the Clyde Beatty-Cole Brothers Circus—he failed miserably—and to try his hand as a percussionist with the New York Philharmonic (where a miss-hit on the gong earned him the immediate applause of conductor Leonard Bernstein).

  • Reggie Brown Injury Timeline
    REGGIE BROWN lay motionless, unable to breathe. Teammates began to panic as medical help rushed to the field. Here's the story of the struggle to save him. Reggie Brown is flat on his back on the Pontiac Silverdome carpet. Legs straight. Arms at his side. Motionless. His Lions teammates scream for him to get up, but he can't move. Kent Falb, the team's head athletic trainer, looks down at him and urges him to relax. Brown tries to tell Falb he can't breathe, but he emits only a labored, guttural sound. His lips start to turn blue. His eyelids feel like lead weights; they slide shut. As he drifts into unconsciousness, he wonders if he will ever wake up. All around him and on televisions nationwide, millions of fans are watching, stunned. For 17 weeks of the 1997 season and for years before that, we’ve watched these big, strong, fast warriors in hard-plastic helmets and pads crash into each other. We've seen thousands of collisions, knowing that each has the potential for disaster, yet we react with shock when it does. We should be surprised traumatic injuries don't occur more often. There's a fine line between getting up and getting injured. Between walking away and never walking again. Yes, even between living and dying. At 6:30 p.m. ET Sunday, December 21, Reggie Brown is straddling that line. What happens over the next several, critical minutes will determine on which side he falls. The Lions are hosting the Jets on the final weekend of the regular season.

    MY DAYS AS A FIGHTING SCOT AN IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS OF PARTICIPATORY JOURNALISM A Report of a Senior Study by Kevin Lewis Wheatley Major: Writing/Communication Maryville College Fall, 2008 Date Approved _____________, by ________________________ Faculty Supervisor Date Approved _____________, by ________________________ Editor 1 CHAPTER I WHAT AM I DOING AND WHY AM I DOING IT? ANALYSIS OF PARTICIPATORY JOURNALISM I am an aspiring sports journalist currently working as a sports stringer for the Knoxville News Sentinel. By default, this title usually implies I have a bitter athletic past and am extremely judgmental of the jock culture. This bitterness is stereotypically attributed to a variety of factors, ranging from being picked last on the playground for dodge ball to getting my feelings deeply hurt by a fanatical high school baseball coach. Because of my status as a sportswriter, I’m not supposed to truly understand what happens in a huddle on the football field or inside of a locker room. By trade, I am an outsider. Well, consider me an outsider no more. I am coming out of retirement from football and putting on the pads to become a Fighting Scot. Granted, my playing experience consisted of two years as an offensive lineman in high school and I am going to play quarterback for the Scots. I have not stepped foot on the gridiron in nearly five years, but that does not matter. This is not about winning the starting quarterback job and obtaining glory on the football field. No, for me this creative thesis is about gaining a new perspective on the game of football through participatory journalism that will help stimulate my growth as a writer, especially as a sports journalist.
